A preliminary study into the use of Vicryl in cataract and squint surgery has already been published (Munton, Phillips, Martin, Bartholomew, and Capperauld, I974). The safety and efficacy of the material were confirmned and it was concluded that the overall handling characteristics of monofilament Vicryl 8-o (dyed purple) were superior to monofilament nylon and equal to virgin silk. The sutures...

BACKGROUND Long-term exposure to hand-held vibrating tools may cause the hand arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) including vibration induced white fingers and sensorineural symptoms. The aim was to study early neurosensory effects by quantitative vibrotactile and monofilament tests in young workers with hand-held vibration exposure. METHODS This cross-sectional study consisted of 142 young, male m...

G rowing interest has been given to the contamination of commonly used instruments in the physical exam (1,2). We are unaware of such scrutiny being given to the 10-g monofila-ment. The 10-g monofilament is a common screening test used to identify patients with loss of protective sensation and is part of recommended practice for the comprehensive foot exam for patients with diabetes (3). The in...

Every Seifert Fibre Group is the lift of a Fuchsian group to the universal covering group of PSL (2,R). From this, we work out a form of presentation for such a group. With the calculation of the Euler number, we can establish the presentation of the derived group of a Seifert Fibre Group

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of age on fiber characteristics of one-humped female camels of semnan province. 50 grams of wool samples from the left midside area were randomly collected from 28 camels of three different age groups: young, adult and old and fibre characteristics were measured. statistical model used for this research was completely randomized design (crd). an...

Five dogs, 10 weeks old, underwent operation using ketamin-HCl anesthesia and end-to-end anastomoses of the femoral and brachial arteries were made using polyfilament nonabsorbable material (Ethibond), monofilament nonabsorbable material (Prolene), polyfilament absorbable material (Vicryl) and monofilament absorbable material (PDS). The arterial diameter using a micrometer and blood flow using ...
